Ho hum, there are no laughs in this one; and this Luke meeting Leia scene is getting a bit drawn-out. He does utter the immortal—and corny “I’m here to rescue you” line, but I bet I never once thought of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

early 1978 | age 9 Beautiful—are you sure? “……YOUR MORE BEUTIFULL THAN I THOUGHT” One of the first attempts to extol Leia’s beauty! 9 or 10 year old boys really don’t have much of an appreciation of the opposite sex’s[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
